Announcement by BioWare...so it's real!!

Just saw this five minutes ago. I've always wanted to play Mass Effect, and I didn't want to buy the X360 just for this game. Now, I don't have to!

Here's the announcement on Yahoo.

OMG! w00t!!! AWESOME!!!!

Yay, let the modding comence (soon).

very nice, but its rather pointless for me since i already have the game for the 360. still, at least it will be easier to snipe and pull of headshots by aiming with the mouse. i just wish Bioware was going to add something more to the PC version aside from an improved/optimized GUI (as stated in the announcement). if there's some nice mods out there, i'll probably pick it up eventually, but otherwise, its a rather moot point for me.

Oh, I'm sure I'll buy it....just cuz I'm such a BioWare CrackWhore...*chuckle*
I cannot WAIT for the oh-so-talented mod community to get hold of it!
(I'm also very interested in having an improved inventory...*grrr*)

Awesome.

We pretty much knew it was going to happen eventually, but it's cool to see an official announcement especially because of the release date. I thought about getting a 360, but since Mass Effect was really the only game that interested me, I decided it wasn't worth it. Now I get to finally play it in May. This make Bob Happy Lion.
This make Bob Sad Lion. I still can't get used to EA mentioned with Bioware...

Oh well...

Excellent. Now lets just hope my rig can play it.

Oh, yeah, I've always said PC is the only platform I'll ever need. Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaawwwww!!!!!! :3pdance:

Words cannot express my happiness.

"The game is will be released for the PC in May 2008."

I think I saw somewhere that Devil May Cry 4 will be coming out for PC also, but its cool that those who own PCs can play this awesome game too :D

I can't wait. Oh wait, I didn't wait...Still I will buy it again for the PC.

Very good news, now PC users will get to experence as Fox News described Mass Effect “Luke Skywalker meets Debbie does Dallas.” :D

:bounfire2 - This describes my current mood better than any words could.

I already have it but im definately getting it for pc. Im gonna duel play it and go insane.

W00t. I knew that Mass Effect would be another Kotor. Awesome news on Bioware's part. Awesome idea as well. Lets hope we can mod it

Awesome news!! I'm really looking forwrd to this game.

Never played this TBH...

I'll get it and try it. :D

*Prays to the game gods that his computers can run it*
Would it be too nerdy, even for a Lucasforums member, to name my character Jack?

No...not too nerdy...but be forewarnd...I already have "Jak" Shepard...LAWLZ...

(I also hold the title Queen of all that is Nerd-dom and Dorkery)

I'll call mine Alan Shepard. It fits! :)

Wow, this is only what, only three months after it was out for the 360? Remind me never to take BioWare seriously when they announce future titles as console-exclusive.

(Not that I mind, of course, but I am somewhat worried for my health - playing Torment, BG2, Mask of the Betrayer and ME all within the span of eight months may cause me to implode from the awesome.)

Despite Mask of the Betrayer sitting in a box right by your computer? For shame! Twenty lashes with a wet noodle!

Your spelling is also terrible. o_Q

Oh boy! Another game to sit on my shelf and get dusty! :xp: (Still need to get The Witcher, and VTM Bloodlines)

:yelhelp: I am trapped in Stormreach... send platnium pieces!

Hah--you still have VtMB calling your name, so I don't even want to hear it. :xp:

You try thumbing keys on a smartphone in between patients and see how well you spell, too. ;P

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I was thinking of picking up a 360 just so I could play this game and Assassin's Creed, but it looks like I won't have to. ;D

Dreams do come true!!!

Hats off to BioWare and EA for working this out with Microsoft and for showing the love to the PC gaming community. :hattip: Now where do I pre-order? :D

Well, it looks like the tax refund is going toward a new graphics card and monitor to optimize the eye candy :)

Ooh, ooh! Which one, jimbo?

Ooh, wonderful! This game looks marvelous, however, I had no 360 so I felt all hope was lost. And then this happends!

I'm probably going to need to upgrade my computer three years. So out of date...

Looks like this will be THE version of the game to get then, 'cuz of mod possiblities and everything. Can't wait!

Any idea what the system requirements will be?

Wow, that was a lot faster than I thought it would take. I guess I need to start looking at new machines.

I wonder how moddable it will be??

I hope We can mod it to be Star Wars!!

Mass Effect was a massive disappointment to me (IMO), but the basis for a good game was there, graphics were awesome etc. Maybe I can make it a game I enjoy

lol i'm was mainly getting a xbox360 in june was for Mass effect and maybe Force Unleashed now i'm not so sure i will lol

Now to see if the texture pop ins and loading times are fixed/faster.

Let's hope it's not like Crysis or has at least a 8800GTX bundles with it :)

Kicka$$ stuff, can't wait...

This is great news, and as others have stated above ^ I hope the system requirements aren't bat**** crazy.

Video Card

Monitor

Of course, Jae can't know this, or she'll spend the money before I get a chance. So keep it quiet.

I'd recommend this one, as it's a whole bunch cheaper than the PNY version.

O.O SO glad I didnt buy a 360... this was the only game that made me want to buy one. :D

Cant wait to buy it!

Probably not, Lucasarts seems to have a certain fondness for putting a stop to Starwars mods for games not released by them.

Great news that a PC version is in the works, seems like it's time to start caring about this game and see what it is about. I just hope the system requirements aren't too draconian. :)
